27. Which of the following statements is correct? For a business that buys raw materials and manufactures a

A. “Revenue” or "Turnover" or "Sales" is all money that comes into the business, including items such as bank
interest received.
B. “Revenue” or “Turnover” or “Sales” is money that is left over once the cost of the raw materials is taken

C. “Revenue” or “Turnover” or “Sales” is the money that has actually been received from people buying
goods.
D. “Revenue” or “Turnover” or “Sales” is the sales value of the goods that have been sold in the financial year.

Revenue (Turnover or Sales) is the sale of the product (or provision of the service) that is the main feature of
the business. Money from other sources of income, such as bank interest received, is NOT part of “Revenue”.
Most businesses sell items on credit. The SALE is the important feature – not when the money is received.

28. A company has bought, amongst other things, the following items over the last 12 months:

Which of the following statements is correct?


A. The Vehicle is Capital Expenditure. The Insurance, Stapler and Raw Materials are revenue expenditure.
B. The Vehicle and Insurance are Capital Expenditure. The Stapler and Raw Materials are revenue
expenditure.
C. The Vehicle, Insurance and Stapler are all Capital Expenditure. The Raw Materials are revenue expenditure.
D. The Vehicle, Insurance and Raw Materials are all Capital Expenditure. The Stapler is revenue expenditure.

Revenue Expenditure is incurred in the day to day running of the business. Capital expenditure is when a
non-current asset is purchased. These items are relatively expensive, and last longer that 1 year. Hence the
vehicle is Capital Expenditure. The van will sit on the Statement of Financial Position, and depreciation will be
charged to the Income Statement over several years. The insurance lasts only 1 year, and so is revenue. A
stapler is a relatively low cost item; even though it may last more than 12 months! And raw materials are used
for generating revenue.

29. A company buys a new piece of machinery for £55,000 cash. It is expected to last for 8 years and will have
a scrap value of £7,000 The company uses straight line depreciation
A. In the year of purchase, there is a cash movement of £55,000 and a depreciation charge and therefore a
reduction in profit of £6,000.
B. In the year of purchase, there is a cash movement of £49,000 which is £55,000 paid for the machine and
£6,000 depreciation charge.
C. In the year of purchase, there is a cash movement of £6,875 which is the depreciation charge.
D. In the year of purchase, there is a net cash movement of £48,125. This is the £55,000 paid for the machine
and £6,875 depreciation charge.

Depreciation is NOT the same as cash on a year by year basis. The cost of the equipment over the 8 years is
£55,000 less the scrap value of £7,000 = £48,000 Therefore the annual depreciation, on a straight line basis, is
£6,000 per year. THIS is the value that affects profit. The CASHFLOW occurs when the machinery is
purchased, and when it is sold.

30. A company buys 500 units of stock at a cost of £22 per unit. During the year, it sells 450 units at a price of
£30 per unit. What is the “cost of goods sold” on the Income Statement?
A. £11,000
B. £9,900
C. £13,500
D. £3,600

“Cost of goods sold” must be the cost of the goods SOLD! This is due to the “accruals” or “matching”
concept. Using the wrong figure will affect profit, and therefore tax! In this example – and there are several
ways to calculate the correct answer – only include what was actually SOLD. Eg: 450 units x £22 = £9,900 A
includes unsold units. C & D are revenue / profit calculations.

31. A company buys in a unit at a cost of £2 per unit. The selling price is £3 per unit. Which of the following
statements is correct?
A. Mark up is 67%; Margin is 150%.
B. Mark up is 150%; Margin is 67%
C. Mark-up is 50%; Margin is 33%
D. Mark-up is 33%; Margin is 50%

Mark-up and Margin are often confused. Mark-UP is the amount added on to the COST. In this example, £1 is
added which is 50% of the £2 cost Margin is the amount within the SELLING PRICE. In this example, the
“profit” of £1 is 33% of the selling price.
